I have two tables that come in from Sharepoint online lists. One of the fields is a multi select lookup value (called "App") from the other table and when Power Query brings it in it brings it in as a list, which I then extract to comma delimeted values. The problem is that rether than bringing in the name of the app, it brings in the ID of the app's record. I ultimately end up with a concatenated list of app IDs rather than their names. How can I replace the app's IDs with their names? Example:
Table 1:
| Id | Title | AppsId |
| 1 | Record 1 | 3, 5, 7 |
| 2 | Record 2 | 2, 4, 6 |
Table 2:
| Id | App |
| 1 | App1 |
| 2 | App2 |
| 3 | App3 |
| 4 | App4 |
| 5 | App5 |
| 6 | App6 |
| 7 | App7 |
| 8 | App8 |
| 9 | App9 |
| 10 | App10 |
| 11 | App11 |
| 12 | App12 |
| 13 | App13 |
| 14 | App14 |
| 15 | App15 |
Desired result for Table 1:
| Id | Title | App |
| 1 | Record 1 | App3, App5, App7 |
| 2 | Record 2 | App2, App4, App6 |
